Re: [IRCA] am iboc

["Paul S. Lotsof" <cave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Randy Stewart is the man who sent me an aircheck of the "other" CAVE-FM which is licensed to Marshfield, a suburb of Springfield.  I had no idea he was involved in IRCA.  And he probably had no idea that I was once a member.

As nearly as I can see it, the owner of WYSL is the only opponent of IBOC who is willing to "come out of the closet" on this issue.   All the others want to hide their identities.

And I still think that WHO is probably more a problem for him than is WBZ.

Nobody seems to be hopping mad about the FM system though it probably affects more listeners than does the AM system.    More listeners though probably not as many square miles.   

Not to change the subject any but things look promising for tests on 1030 and 1210 in mid December.  Both would be using 10 kw.   Which would you say has a better chance of reaching the most DXers?
